21st
century sees the time
of globalization. Software providers are thrived to
promote global products, single standard software with full
functionalities, which meet all requirements across the world.
To
obtain local version of software, software vendors just need to
localize the standard version, and do not have to develop local
features.
This
job sounds easy, but is difficult to process.
What are the problems of software localization?
1.
Short of
expertise.
The nature of software
predicts that qualified experts of software localization should have
certain software developing experience, should be familiar to
system environment software running in, and should know terms in
software and prospective industries.
2.
Time-consuming.
The
more obvious propensity to launch global version of software across
the world at the same time is shown, the more crucial to finish
localization projects in all parts of world in time. However, the
revisions of software to launch particularly are occurred from time
to time, requiring that the localization team is capable to follow
the instruction of R&D department closely and to update the
local version promptly.
3.
Limited budget.
It
is understandable that more fund are invested into "real"
software feature development than into localization which is more
like "coping". But the fact that localization is also
resource consuming and could not be completed automatically deserves
more attention.
